Data shows severe allergic reactions in large cohorts, highlighting risks of certain foods.

The frequent involvement of sunflower seed, pine nut, pea and lentil, but also rising numbers of reactions to fenugreek and pumpkin seed, indicates their potential risk. These allergenic foods warrant close monitoring and consideration in future allergen labelling revisions.
